This book offers a brief introduction to the automotive industry's upstream and downstream supply chains. What is a supply chain? It is the complete process from sourcing raw materials to selling the final product. It involves multiple stages and participants, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and end consumers. A supply chain is more than a simple production process: it is a highly complex, interdependent ecosystem. Each stage plays an essential role, working together to drive the development of the entire industry.
